RNA – In an editorial, the al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper, an independent pan-Arab daily ‎‎newspaper, wrote about the upcoming fortieth anniversary of the victory of Iran’s ‎‎Islamic Revolution, saying, “In the past forty years since the victory of Islamic ‎‎Revolution, Iran has been able to turn into regional strategic power and create ‎‎engagement with every superpower in the world. In this regard, it will formulate its ‎‎strategy based on the taking of important regional cases.”‎
